Melvin Ehrlich, 52, of Millis, was charged with three counts of possession of child pornography and two counts of distribution of child pornography.

Ehrlich sent his laptop computer to a service provider for maintenance work to remove a reported virus from the computer, according to a police news release. While working on Ehrlich’s laptop, the service provider discovered images of child pornography and called police, investigators said.

Police said an investigation revealed that Ehrlich used various user names to download and distribute commercially traded child pornography images.

Ehrlich is a pediatric dentist who operates Wee Care for Kids in Framingham. Police said there was no evidence that presently leads law enforcement to believe that Ehrlich physically abused any children or manufactured any images of child pornography.

The case was under investigation.

Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact Framingham Police at 508-872-1212 or the Middlesex District Attorney's Office Child Abuse Unit at 781-897-8400.
